Tim Penny on Education

Limit bureaucracy; deregulate education

Tim Penny believes that in order to provide reform in the education system, we should deregulate education in Minnesota. School districts are too tied down by state regulation to allow good ideas to come forward and reach the classroom.
Let true decision-making occur at the local school district level by taking as much control away from St. Paul as we can.
